lyrics

ISN'T IT GRAND BOYS

Look at the coffin with golden handles
Isn't it grand boys to be bloody well dead

Let’s not have a sniffle
Let’s have a bloody good cry
And always remember the longer you live
The sooner you'll bloody well die

Look at the mourners bloody great hypocrites
Isn't it grand boys to be bloody well dead

Let’s not have a sniffle
Let’s have a bloody good cry
And always remember the longer you live
The sooner you'll bloody well die

Look at the flowers all bloody withered
Isn't it grand boys to be bloody well dead

Let’s not have a sniffle
Let’s have a bloody good cry
And always remember the longer you live
The sooner you'll bloody well die

Look at the preacher bloody sanctimonious
Isn't it grand boys to be bloody well dead

Let’s not have a sniffle
Let’s have a bloody good cry
And always remember the longer you live
The sooner you'll bloody well die

Look at the widow bloody great female
Isn't it grand boys to be bloody well dead

Let’s not have a sniffle
Let’s have a bloody good cry
And always remember the longer you live
The sooner you'll bloody well die

Look at the drunkard bloody great piss-head
Isn't it grand boys to be bloody well dead

Let’s not have a sniffle
Let’s have a bloody good cry
And always remember the longer you live
The sooner you'll bloody well die

(Trad. arr. The Whisky Priests)
